Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Repulse Bay Villa, Lin Family.

As the time approaches October 10th, Lin Baicheng, who is preparing to leave for the mainland, of course needs to talk to his family.

"Son, is it really okay for you to go to the mainland?"

Knowing that their son was visiting the mainland at the invitation of mainland officials, Father Lin and Mother Lin couldn't help but feel a little worried, because since the founding of China, China has indeed not been friendly to wealthy capitalists.

"You have to know that you are no longer an ordinary citizen of Xiangjiang, but a capital tycoon, a capitalist."

Lin Haishan repeatedly reminded that in his opinion, an ordinary person would be fine if he went to the mainland, because ordinary people have nothing valuable except their lives, and mainland officials would not take the lives of ordinary people. But it's different for rich people. Assets are another life for capitalists, and this life may be taken away.

"Dad, Mom, whether I am an ordinary person or a capitalist, I am a Chinese, and I have the blood of Yan and Huang flowing in my body."

Lin Baicheng has not experienced the domestic chaos in the earlier period, so it is difficult to comment. He only emphasized that he is a Chinese and a descendant of Yan and Huang.

"Son, I think you should be more careful."

Lin's mother Zhao Huilan also said: "No one knows whether the national policy will change. Now they say that the policy has been changed. They invite you people to go to the mainland to have a look. In case the policy changes again one day, it changes again." I have to welcome you capitalists, so what should I do? You are already a well-known figure in Xiangjiang, so why go to the mainland and put yourself at risk for nothing."

"Dad, Mom, this is a formal invitation from the state, so there will definitely be no problem with the safety of our people here. Don't worry about that."

"I'm just going there to take a look. I'm not talking about moving the industry there. If the policy changes, it won't affect me for the time being."

Lin Baicheng tried his best to appease his parents. He believed that as time passed, they would gradually understand.

"Okay, now that you have made your decision, I won't say more."

Lin's mother Zhao Huilan sighed when she heard this, shook her head, then got up and walked towards the stairs.

Watching the figure walking up, Lin Haishan sat down next to Lin Baicheng, patted his shoulder and said: "Son, you have to know that your mother's family used to be from the mainland, and the family situation was quite good. Later, It's because the power at the national level has been ruined and they fled to Xiangjiang. In this case, it's normal for your mother to have some resentment over there. After all, a good young lady from a wealthy family turned into a refugee, and anyone else would be a fugitive. There is resentment.”

"But your mother won't harm you. She is worried that something will happen to you, and that what happened to your grandpa's house will happen to you again. You have to understand her."

"Dad, I know this, don't worry."

Lin Baicheng nodded to express his understanding. Of course he knew that his parents said this for his own good and did not want anything to happen to him.

After thinking about it, Lin Baicheng asked aloud: "Dad, do you know where mom is from? Are there any relatives there?"

Lin Haishan shook his head: "Your mother never talks about the past. I only know that her hometown is in Hunan Province in the mainland. I have to ask your mother where she is in Hunan Province."

"I see."

Lin Baicheng nodded. He was not ready to ask Mother Lin yet. He thought about finding an opportunity to ask the two presidents of Xinhua News Agency, Wang Yiping and Li Fuquan, to help check whether his mother had any close relatives alive, and if they could find them. If they did and could still be found, then he would tell Mother Lin and give them to her. It's never too late for a surprise.

In addition to telling his family that he was going to the mainland, Lin Baicheng also told his secretary Qin Lan and assistant Cheng Yufeng about the matter. At the same time, he made some work arrangements. After all, he would stay in the mainland for at least a few days this time.

When we get to the mainland, it will definitely not be that convenient to contact us. Lin Baicheng can only contact Xiangjiang. If Xiangjiang has anything important to report to him, he cannot take the initiative to contact him. After all, if Lin Baicheng had not taken the initiative to contact Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang would not have known where Lin Baicheng was in the mainland at that time.

Time came to October 10th in a blink of an eye.

Lin Baicheng and others followed the team led by Mr. Liao and Li Fuquan to the mainland. Xinhua News Agency must have a president to stay in Xiangjiang to take charge of the work in Xiangjiang, so Wang Yiping stayed.

This time, Lin Baicheng and others accepted the invitation from mainland officials to visit Peking in a private name, and they were accompanied by business acquaintances. Originally, Lin Baicheng thought that people from the cultural circles would also be invited to attend, but he didn't know whether they were not invited or whether they were invited but couldn't avoid it.

Lin Baicheng speculates that given Jin Yong's status in Hong Kong's cultural circles, if mainland officials want to invite people from the cultural circles to the mainland, there will definitely be a hurdle that Jin Yong cannot get around, and they must invite Jin Yong.

Among the people who went to the mainland this time, there were no cultural figures such as Jin Yong.

Huo Yingdong, Bao Yugang, Hu Yinxiang and other acquaintances all went to the mainland together this time, but there were less than ten people in total, which to be honest was still quite small.

Although this trip to the mainland was said to be a secret one, in fact it was just not publicized to the outside world. The group took a boat out to sea openly, and the Hong Kong government could also know who had gone to the mainland.

It is only 1978, and flights between Xiangjiang and the mainland have not yet opened, so Lin Baicheng and the others have no way to take a direct flight to the mainland. They can only go to Bao'an on the other side by shipping, and then transfer via the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway. Take, take the train to Peiping.

To be honest, this kind of transportation is very inconvenient, but the current conditions in the mainland are like this, and there is nothing we can do about it.

Lin Baicheng and others set out from Xiangjiang on the morning of the 10th, but by the time they arrived in Peiping, it was already the morning of the 13th. In this era, it takes almost two days to take a train from Guangdong Province to Peking, and with the transfer time in between, it takes even longer.

"Fortunately I'm still young!"

Looking at Huo Yingdong, Bao Yugang and others who were not in good spirits, Lin Baicheng couldn't help but secretly thought to himself that although he had felt very tired these past few days, at least he was still young and much better than old people like Bao Yugang and the others.

Of course there are places to sleep on the train, but where can you sleep well on the train? Moreover, the trains of this era are not as stable as the high-speed trains after the 21st century.

When they arrived in Peking, Lin Baicheng and others were arranged to rest in the Peking Hotel. The Peking Hotel is an important place for state affairs and foreign affairs reception. It has a very high political status and is a rare modern and international building in Peiping.

Everyone was very tired, so after arriving at the Peking Hotel, they went to rest.
